Story

The game has a 16 year old protagonist who grew up in a serene, quiet town. When he participates in the village's coming-of-age ceremony, he discovers that he is the reincarnation of a hero that once saved the world, and is burdened with a great mission. He sets off across the world of Lotozetasia, where he's joined by allies, including a child prodigy, a rude thief, and an entertainer.[2]

Gameplay

Dragon Quest XI's gameplay varies on the console you play. In the 3DS version, there are two modes that you can toggle between while playing. One version of the gameplay is traditional to the early games of the Dragon Quest series where it is 2D, while the other is that of IX gameplay with a slight mix of the old style of gameplay. The PS4 version is similar to that of X gameplay, where it is more fluid than it would be on a handheld console, due to restrictiveness of quality on handheld consoles.

Square Enix has predicted that the game will take 50 hours to complete; 100 if one completes all its side activities. The player can traverse the world using pirate ships and flying dragons.[2]

Features

While on the 3DS version, the game can switch between the traditional old gameplay or the gameplay similar to IX.
